Rep. Josh Gottheimer, who represents New Jersey’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of updates on November 15, 2025, addressing topics ranging from local history and health care to foreign policy.
In his first post of the day, Gottheimer highlighted a community event involving a significant historical site: “The historic Old Paramus Reformed Church has served our community for 300 years — including even George Washington during the Revolutionary War. The church will hold a concert today in Ridgewood as they work to preserve this incredible landmark. More https://t.co/9jJNVlrWEl” (November 15, 2025).
Later that afternoon, Gottheimer addressed concerns about health care costs and legislative negotiations: “I’ve been clear: We must protect families from surging health care costs. Now, I’m leading a group of House Democrats and Republicans calling on the Senate to include the House in negotiations to address the ACA tax credits set to expire. https://t.co/CSx9bHiaEG” (November 15, 2025).
In an evening statement on foreign relations, he wrote: “The Turkish government has a long record of hostility toward Israel, Greece, and the Republic of Cyprus — and maintains ties to Hamas terrorists. I remain deeply skeptical of Turkey’s intentions, reliability in ensuring peace, and potential role in Syria’s stabilization. https://t.co/iTlE83fV6m” (November 15, 2025).
